Unlocking the Secrets to Your Perfect College Search with Courtney Kountz
The Big College Search: Are you trying to help your teen find the right college?
From essays and finances to picking the perfect experience; what if I mess up and it ruins their incredible college experience?
How do you start the conversation when neither of you have an answer?
Picking a college? Cost, fees/ majors offered, specialties, size, location, intern program, extracurricular, potential sports scholarship, culture, religion, weather?
- When is the best time to start researching? Sophomore, junior year? Some kids haven’t filled out admissions papers or written the essay yet. How do we encourage them to move forward vs. procrastinating?
2. It feels like there’s a ton of pressure these days to pick the right college. Legacy, Reputation, Comparison, Connections. What if they don’t get accepted? Sometimes it’s more about the parent than the child. How do let go and focus on our kids needs over ourselves?
3. Do you take a physical tour, an online tour? Do you have them take the initiative?
